To be absolutely honest Gerald, unless teh government puts MSFT out of business, they will not sway the tide of Internet business the way I see it. My sites stats (average of about 32,000 unique visitors per month), have shown IE ahead of NAV for a bout a month and a half now. My site draws a VERY high end clientele, the typ who usually set the trend for a LOT of high tech buying (institutional finance). The rate of IE adooption is also very, very quick, (about 8-11% per month). The rate of adoption of 4.0 vs. 3.0 browsers is much higher than NSCP's and the absolute amount adopted is also higher than NSCP's. The randon querying that I do among the downtown financial and consulting houses reveal the same. This means that IE is becoming the dominant browser for business users - the guys that spend the moulah (It has already become the dominant browser on my site by one or two percentage points, but that is not a scientific sampling), MSFT's new technology is adopted at a faster rate, and more of MSFT's newer technology is in consumers hands than that of NSCP.

The market seems to be demanding the IE4 product. The governemnt cannot legislate the market, only the market participants and thier actions. I for one would buy IE 4 regardless, an upward of 50% of the banker types are adopting the same opinion.
